Toolbox

Thanks to a wide range of tools, ADRIA can provide tailor-made services even-more sophisticated and conduct research in the best conditions. These tools offered by ADRIA can also be used by food industries when they need them.

ADRIA possesses a know-how in formulation innovation based on ingredients functional and texture properties:

- Determination of ingredients functional properties- Predictive modelling of the formulations water activities to prevent microbial, enzymatic and oxidation spoilage- Formulation optimisation in order to decrease salt and sugar concentrations, and improve functional properties- Predictive modelling of water transfer in composite foods- Shelf-life determination

ADRIA Développement offers software for water activity calculation in food (Aw) very useful for all actors in the food industry. The main concept is to calculate and predict the water activity of a formulation through a database of more than 230 ingredients and mathematical models. It will help to accelerate product innovation by saving development time, labor and raw materials, while controlling this crucial parameter stability and organoleptic health, what the water activity.

Sym’Previus is a collection of tools for food safety inspections designed for food sector businesses to help:

- Strengthen HACCP plans,- Develop new products,- Better understand and quantify microbial behaviour,- Determine shelf lives and improve food safety.Sym'Previus is intended for quality managers or R & D managers. It reduces the implementation lead time and the number of experimental tests. It provides arguments using the most recent predictive microbiological models. Sym’Previus expert centres offer training in its use.

To conduct its studies, ADRIA possesses an extended collection of micro-organism strains, which are identified and characterised using the relevant serological, biochemical and molecular methods, and representing the biodiversity encountered in food industries
